Common ground and differences in individuals with ADHD and Borderline Personality Disorder. Focus on neuropsychological deficits.
Summary:
The relationship between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) has been the subject of much research in recent years, focusing on areas of impulsivity, emotional instability and executive functions. This paper aims to investigate the similarities and differences between the two disorders, with a focus on neurocognitive deficits. For this reason, a comparison was made between three groups, 10 adults with ADHD, 10 adults with BPD and 10 healthy controls using AECOM - ICS (Albert Einstein College of Medicine-Impulsivity Coping Scale) self-reported impulsivity questionnaire, DERS (Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale) self-reported questionnaire of subjective ability to control emotions and four neuropsychological tests (WAIS IV, Stroop Color Word Test, Rey Complex Figure Test και Wisconsin Card Sorting Test). According to the results, ADHD group showed increased levels of self-reported impulsivity and lower performance in visual-spatial construction capacity. BPD group showed lower performance in response inhibition and higher levels of self-reported emotional instability. These findings indicate the differentiation between ADHD and BDP in impulsivity, emotional instability and specific cognitive domains and form the basis for future research.
